Descent Of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 920

“This way, please.”

“Thank you.”

The Master smiled faintly. However, his inner thoughts were not as relaxed as his smiling face suggested.

‘This is so awkward.’

Visiting another country was certainly not a pleasant experience.

Especially for those who received VIP treatment like the Master, going through an airport was quite a burden.

For those who were receiving such protocol for the first time, it might be a process that instilled pride, but for the Master, it was just a nuisance. Especially now.

“By the way, who is he?”

“Well, we received instructions from above, but they told us not to ask about his identity.”

“Is he an Arab prince? Looking at his attire, he doesn’t seem to be from that region. They said he came from England?”

“That’s what it seems like.”

The whispering voices of the protocol officers were clearly audible.

They thought they were whispering quietly, but to the Master, who was a martial artist, it sounded as loud as an elephant’s footsteps.

Although he couldn’t understand the words precisely, he could guess what kind of conversation was taking place just from their tone.

‘That’s why I wanted to go through the regular route.’

But that was impossible.

First of all, it was difficult to avoid attention when arriving on a private jet. Moreover, it was even more so for someone like the Master, who was covering his face with a mask.

From the very fact that he was wearing a mask, it was impossible to go through the regular security checkpoint. It was cumbersome and a bit of a burden, but he had no choice but to go through the VIP gate.

Usually, because of such issues, he preferred to skip going through the gate altogether and go straight to his car to leave the airport, but this time, that was also difficult.

Because there was someone he had to meet at the airport.

“This way, Master.”

Following the escort, the Master walked on. But soon, the Master was faced with another problem.

“You’re saying it’s not possible now? Then when will it be possible?”

“Hmm?”

The Master’s eyes turned to one side.

A slightly raised voice made him sense trouble.

“We cannot give you an exact time. I’m sorry. You’ll have to wait a little longer…”

“No. I made a reservation in advance…”

“I’m sorry.”

A man and a woman.

A man and a woman were talking to an airport official in a black suit. Judging by their tone, it seemed that the man and woman were making some kind of request to the airport official.

“Then at least give us a definite answer as to how long we have to wait.”

“That’s not something we can specify right now…”

“This is driving me crazy.”

The man scratched his head vigorously.

Then, the woman standing behind him grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

“Hey, why are you overreacting like that? Just wait!”

“No, sis. We made a reservation first. We even booked to go through at this time, but they’re telling us to just wait.”

“What’s the big deal about a reservation? Just because you made a reservation doesn’t mean everything will happen on time. Why are you acting like this after experiencing it countless times in China?”

“This isn’t China, that’s why I’m like this. If it were China, I would have already laid down on the floor.”

“Okay, okay. That’s why I told you to go through the regular gate! I’m so embarrassed, so just stop it.”

“The regular gate? Have you forgotten what happened when we went through the regular gate last time? People swarmed in, and the gate was paralyzed.”

“…That’s right.”

The man glanced at the airport staff and opened his mouth.

“If this was something we requested, I wouldn’t say anything. After that incident, the airport told us to use a different gate instead of the regular gate because it was interfering with their work. So, we checked three times a few days ago, and now they’re telling us to wait, so it’s frustrating.”

The person who appeared to be an airport employee bowed slightly.

“We apologize for that. We also did not expect this visit.”

“So, if something like that happens, the other side has to wait…”

“Han Eunsol.”

The woman’s voice was cold, and the man flinched and closed his mouth.

“I told you not to overreact.”

“…I’m sorry.”

“It’s wrong to treat a problem that needs attention as nothing, but it’s also a problem to make a big deal out of something that’s not a big deal. Are you acting like you’re in charge right now?”

“Ah, no, what do you mean by acting like I’m in charge? Sis, I’m not in a position to do that.”

“That’s what you’re doing right now. People experience all sorts of things in life. It seems like this is a problem that they can’t do anything about, so what’s the point of holding onto it?”

Han Eunsol sighed.

‘It’s not like I’m doing this because of me.’

Han Eunsol didn’t want to bother people with such things. In the first place, he was far from being someone who would act like he was in charge. Because he was the one who was usually on the receiving end of such behavior. Isn’t that what a celebrity’s manager is?

As Han Eunsol had to navigate between the well-known celebrities and the truly powerful producers and directors, he knew better than anyone how painful it was to be on the receiving end of such behavior.

Nevertheless, there was a reason why Han Eunsol was acting like this.

Han Eunsol glanced up at the woman with her arms crossed.

She was beautiful.

Even though they had been together for this long, he should have gotten used to her beauty, but still, every time he saw her, he couldn’t help but admire her.

Of course, the person with Han Eunsol was Choi Yeonha.

Although Choi Yeonha was complaining about Han Eunsol’s behavior with her arms crossed, Han Eunsol didn’t miss the slight anxiety in Choi Yeonha’s eyes.

‘This is frustrating.’

It was their first time returning to Korea in a long time.

If it were their usual selves, they would have waited happily for an hour or two. Just being able to breathe the air of Korea was enough to make them happy.

They had heard that Korea was in chaos because of the fine dust coming from China, but for them, who had just returned from China, Korea was a clean country.

Only after tasting the fine dust of the mainland would Koreans realize, ‘Ah, we’re still doing okay.’

Therefore, just the fact that the air was clean was enough to make them willing to wait. The fact that it was their homeland after a long time made people feel generous.

The problem was that there was someone waiting for them now.

If there were no greeters, they could just sit and wait. There was no urgent matter, and they weren’t busy.

But now, there was someone waiting for them outside the airport. And the person outside the airport was one of the people that Choi Yeonha and Han Eunsol cared about the most.

That’s why Choi Yeonha was so restless right now.

‘She’s the one who’s the most anxious.’

Han Eunsol clicked his tongue.

What if Choi Yeonha had been in this situation before?

Maybe Han Eunsol would have secretly applauded. The old Choi Yeonha deserved it… no, she was someone who needed to experience it.

But the current Choi Yeonha was different.

Maybe it was because Han Eunsol’s senses were dulled like a frog in a slowly boiling pot, but recently, Choi Yeonha had really become a human being.

Of course, to others, she was still a witch, but those who knew the old great witch Choi Yeonha would ask if someone was wearing Choi Yeonha’s skin and acting.

That’s why it was even more frustrating. After enduring and enduring to finish a big project, and then returning with a light heart, she had to go through this situation again.

Han Eunsol felt frustrated that he couldn’t give Choi Yeonha a reward for finishing the difficult schedule in China, and instead, he was making her go through hardship again.

“Just wait. Well, there’s nothing we can do.”

“No, but they’re waiting outside…”

“Just explain the situation through text. It’s not our fault.”

‘It would be nice if she could use that great acting ability at times like this.’

When the camera was rolling, Choi Yeonha was someone who was second to none in terms of acting ability, but in her daily life, Choi Yeonha was not good at acting at all.

Even now, she was saying this….

“Don’t bite your nails. Those are expensive nails you got.”

“Huh? Me?”

Choi Yeonha quickly lowered her hand. Watching that scene, Han Eunsol sighed once again.

‘There’s no other way.’

It was true that the situation was frustrating, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t go back to the regular gate now, and they couldn’t demand to be let through right away. So, for now, they had to wait….

“Excuse me.”

Han Eunsol turned his head.

‘Huh?’

Several people had approached them. Among the many people dressed in black suits, one person stood out in particular. A man wearing a slightly old-fashioned tuxedo and a black mask.

‘Is it cosplay?’

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a masquerade?

It was a bit comical in some ways, but in other ways, it was an outfit that exuded elegance.

And the fine wrinkles around the mouth visible below the mask made it possible to guess the man’s age.

The man standing next to the man smiled and opened his mouth.

“From what I’ve heard, it seems like there’s been a problem because of us. If it’s not too much trouble, would you like to go through the process with us?”

“…Ah!”

Han Eunsol looked at the group with slightly widened eyes.

It seemed that the reason their processing was delayed was because of these people.

‘They must be VIPs.’

And they were likely to be top-tier VIPs. No matter how much Choi Yeonha was just a mere celebrity, it was impossible to indefinitely delay someone who had made a reservation first.

It was better to finish the process quickly than to handle things that way. How long would it take to process just two people?

The fact that they couldn’t even do such a simple thing first meant that this person was a VIP that the airport, and the country, had to be fully prepared for.

“Excuse me, but may I ask who you are?”

“No. I will not answer that question. It simply means that we can help you go through the process together so that you don’t waste any more time. Would you like to come with us?”

At that moment, the old man quietly opened his mouth.

“I can understand, but your voice seems a bit forceful?”

‘English?’

The old man was speaking in English. Although he couldn’t understand it immediately, he could roughly guess the meaning. As soon as the old man finished speaking, the man bowed his head deeply.

“I apologize.”

“If we caused harm, it’s right for us to apologize. Raising your voice like that is unacceptable. Don’t you think so?”

“…I was short-sighted.”

“Translate.”

“Yes!”

“I’m sorry for causing you trouble. We didn’t expect this to happen either. I also have someone waiting for me, so I can’t give up my turn, but can you accept my apology by going through the process together? That would be good.”

“Yes, that’s fine.”

Before the translation could even be completed, Choi Yeonha nodded and answered.

“Thank you. Thank you for your consideration.”

“Te, thank you for your care.”

As Han Eunsol stammered through the translation, the old man smiled and walked ahead.

Watching him, Han Eunsol said quietly.

“Sis, do you understand English?”

“No.”

“Then how did you know what to answer?”

“He said ‘go together,’ right?”

“It’s all or nothing. Then.”

There was no answer.
